Summary

A breakdown of this weeks guests defensive encounter is live on the Active Self Protection YouTube channel. This week on the Active Self Protection Podcast we sit down with Albuquerque resident Alfonso Gallegos and discuss the day he went for a walk while open-carrying a pistol when a group of criminals ran him down with their truck and shot at him in an attempt to steal his pistol. Then we sit down with investigative reporter Stephen Gutowski of the reload.com and discuss some possible upcoming gun control legislation in the state of Colorado in the wake of the recent nightclub shooting. 

Active Self Protection exists to help good, sane, sober, moral, prudent people in all walks of life to more effectively protect themselves and their loved ones from criminal violence. On the ASP Podcast you will hear the true stories of life or death self defense encounters from the men and women that lived them. If you are interested in the Second Amendment, self defense and defensive firearms use, martial arts or the use of less lethal tools used in the real world to defend life and family, you will find this show riveting.  Join host and career federal agent Mike Willever and the rest of the ASP staff as they talk to real life survivors and hear their stories in depth. You'll hear about these incidents and the self defenders from well before the encounter occurred on through the legal and emotional aftermath. Music: bensound.com
